I just started designing my scrapbook page layouts in Cricut Design Space. I wish I had thought of this sooner! What a time saver. Let me show you how I use Cricut Design Space to create scrapbook pages, or what I like to call: Scrapbooking with Cricut!
First, I open up Design Space on Cricut.com and click on “add new design”.

Products that I use:

- Tombow Mono Permanent Adhesive
Steps to using Cricut Design Space for Scrapbooking:
Step One
Gather your photos and complimenting paper for your page. Open a blank 12 x 12 canvas in Design Space.
Step Two
Using “shapes”, insert corresponding shapes that are the size of the photos you will be using on your page. Change the color of these to the color of cardstock that you will use for matting. (You will have to trim your photos a little)
Step Three
Insert more shapes and images to fill the page. Change the colors of these to correspond with the cardstock or paper that you will be using.
Step Four
Cut out desired shapes and refer back to your canvas in Design Space for placement.
Create small word tags by typing out sentiments on white cardstock or vellum, then trimming.
Step Five
Add embellishments and journal.
That “sweet dreams” design is from Cricut and I chose to cut it out of black vinyl instead of paper.
I hope this article gets you thinking about how you can use Cricut Design Space to help you create beautiful scrapbook pages.
Here is Where I Party!

This is great. I have a Cricut and am an avid scrapbooker but I really hand’t tried using my new Cricut for scrapbooking. I am finding the on-line plan space a bit intimidating. Pinned.

Love this idea. Just starting to scrapbook with my Cricut. I am wondering if vinyl is archival?
